Whitehall, Nov 24

This is footage of the student demonstration in Whitehall on November 24. Police horses were used- and at one point we see what looks like a cavalry charge. As I wrote in steepholm 's LJ,  the British state is waging war on its young people.

Kettling is a stupid, stupid tactic. It is designed to make people frustrated and - oh, ha ha - induce situations to boil over. Just letting people proceed on a sensible route, being seen, being heard, is all most demonstrators want. The police should spend their time on the few that want to take more direct action and leave the majority to protest in peace.

The police have a duty to protect the citizenry. They should not be used as a paramilitary arm of government.
